Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I'm trying to create an app specific password as I done dozens of time before but when I go to manage my ID and choose, generate an app specific password it now give me a screen telling me to go to my Apple ID on one of my devices. When I go there, nothing happens and I don't see an option to generate a password.
